security from the Intrusion Of friend or fot
than thoy have in months. l2Y
Tho outaide Of the jail was carefully
patrolled on all sides by armed deputy
sheriff., policemen in uniforms and detee,
tives in citizens garb. al.&
The force Of deputy sherifIa who guard:
ed all the approaches was increased, and
these were supplemented by relays Of mi.
formed police. All unknown to even the
curious pedestrians who peered around
the precincts Of the jail, the streets and
alleys on all sides for several blocks were
quietly pattolled by detectives, who sized
up all euspicioua.looking stragglers and
kept watchiul eye on all little knots that
gathered anywhere In the neighborhood
Of tho jail. '5l1, ft IEI1"
The Anarchists Of the city are 60 we'll
known that none OF them could pet
through the outpoata without detection.
Within the Jail all was still "a death.
Parsons, apparently worn out with the
excitement OF the day, retired early, spjes
tagged nervously at his moustache and
weasily passed hia hand over his brow
every now and then In writing and threw
down his pen. He seemed i'll at ease. and
his : thoughts wore evidently far away from
his narrow cell. In: :
Fischer aud Schwab wrote steadily for
houra, and Sam Fleldin whiled away his
dfeariness with re.perusal OF the
crushing, nowB that the morning had
brought him. !i ~
Chief Deputy Gleason visited the isil
late at night, and sitter Satisfying himseli
that everything was right within Carefully
inspected tho guards outaido. The An.
afchists were all aaleep shortly alter mid.

MEa. A. R. Paraons, wife Of the con.
demnea Anarchist, says, in relation to
the deciaion OF the Supreme Court, that
she does not believe the people will Der.
NIT what she calls "this judicial murder"
She says: "These men could have been
hanged when the jury found them guilty.
At that time the world would have per.
mitted 1t. Public sentiment would have
permitted it-but not now. The people
OF America would not allow it. | have
faith In the American spirit Of fair plsv
and justice, and that will not allow t6ess
men to be hanged" E-D. 80" ~
Are there any other reasops why Won
believe the men will not be hanged :
No; only l am assured Of 1t BY letters
have received from people I have met
all over the country. Why, humanity
will not allow this murder" -"
, "Bnt s,t what ii they are hanged any.
swell, il they are hanged" ahe
paused, looked out Of the window and
tapped her foot on the carpet, "if thew
are hanged, why, the revolution ia so
much nearer ct hand. And what does a
revol7tionist care for death 2" = =
NINA VAN zASDr, SPIES WIFE BY Proxy.
Areporter called at the home Of Nina
Van Z,ndt last night, but she declined TO
discuss the decision. Her eyes were red
With weeping, and she appeared almost
hesrtbroksn at the news that Aucuet
Spie8 Tas condemned to die on the vgl-
lows. "Miss Van Zandt has lived Quietly
Of late" said one Of the neighbo1s. =, "I
think sno hes had very little hone for
come time. don't know what sha will
90 now-Homethiug erratic, no doubt.
She will count herself widow, Of coursa
# the execution takes place. She ia a
PLEASANT girl, and I cannot helm fselino
sorry for her. The public think that ehss
has been iessning g devotion for spies for
elect. DO not believe it. She loves him.
That explains everything. If her conduct
has seemed against common gepse, why.
It's all accounted for-she loves him, : !!
August spiea was the first Of the An.
archists to come out Of his cell at the ex.
erc'ee hour this morning. He was smoking
cigar and appeared quite cheerful.
Shortly aftorwsrd Lingg stretched himself
IN the harbsr's chair for shave, and
Neebe appeared looking fresh and clean,
Mrs. Flacher arrived early and talked
With her husband. Engel held a low con-
sul,atlon with o friend, and schwab an.
peared, pale and worn, looking like one
who had passed a night of anxiety and
mental anguish. I l5,- Ii, - n
schwab's little girl, who usually looks
bright and happy, was very quiet this
morning. Instead Of greeting her father
with q childish laugh she wss very demure
wien she was admitted To- the corridor,
and kissed her father's cheek when the
Anarchist ralasd her in his arms. Mrs.
Parsons called at tho jail without her
children, rare thing i Il nor to do.
